Axis of Evil...

My first topic is prompted by the coverage of US vs. axis of evil. The US is leading a world cause against these nations for their inherent evil. These nations are run by totalitarian regimes that take way the freedom of speech and many other liberties we who live in the west take for granted. So in this manner you don't have any free press, to write something like I am doing right now, as well as, women who are submitted to discrimination, no fair trials and torture for people who go against the state. Do not mistake me, I find this terrible as well.
I also find terrible that in other countries, in the so called third world, there exists a condition of absolute poverty, famine and lack of health services and education in significant portions of the population. Many of these countries are even democratic states. And yet hasn't the liberties of people who live in this condition been taken away as well? What is the distance of somebody who has no food to a full fledged citizen with rights and responsabilities. In other countries this generates the very high crime rates, where you have individuals with no education who aren't qualified for any jobs but those that have unliveable wages, turn to the only option they have left. To take from others, and they aren't worried about getting caught or even if they'll be killed, they have absolutely nothing to lose!By this reasoning wouldn't the US have to intervene on such states as well to defend the democratic values, to uphold liberty and justice for all? No, of course not, this is not their problem. Each nation must deal with it on their own. And besides I don't think the US even cares. By US here, I'm implying not the american people, but the government and the media that intensifies this opinion. The hipocrisy of it all to me is, is that while saying they are fighting for these values guided by their moral clarity they are in fact upholding their own wallets by giving rise to budgets to spent on war industries, they are upholding their access to economic interests (in the case of the middle-east it's of course, the oil). Who says anyway that the US government has been bestowed with the moral clarity over which to guide the world? I guess there are even people who believe all this uphold democracy thing and actually work for it. But this is a naïve posture. The truth of it can be no other.
